Why GA is Dying

Going to another
country is not suspicious, however, each and every person is required to
produce a passport, and explain their reasons for entering that country. I
don't see them being so high and mighty and enforcing their 'rights' in that
circumstance.

Going to another country, you don't have the "rights" you have here.
You have whatever rights and privilages the other country (your host)
grants you. You are not a member of their club.

If it scared the young lad away
from learning to fly, then I'd suggest he is pretty thin skinned, and not at
all dedicated to his implied interest in aviation.

He may not have =been= "dedicated". (if he were, he'd be flying
already). But, we may have lost somebody who may have become dedicated
in the future.
